Success in this role means ensuring high-quality compliance while proactively driving automation and scalability across the region.
The ideal candidate has strong indirect tax technical skills, Big 4 and/or multinational experience, and the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Review and challenge audit findings where appropriate and support remediation actions
Use audit outcomes to identify process improvements and control enhancements
Process transformation and efficiency
Drive continuous improvement of indirect tax processes with a focus on efficiency, scalability, and sustainability
Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort, recurring rework, and reliance on ad-hoc fixes
Leverage automation, tax engines, data, and AI-enabled tools to improve accuracy, consistency, and cycle time across compliance and audit support activities
Work with Finance, IT, and transformation teams to embed indirect tax requirements into upstream systems and processes rather than relying on manual workarounds
Support the implementation and ongoing optimization of ERP and tax technology solutions, including Oracle Cloud and indirect tax engines such as Vertex
Monitor legislative and regulatory changes and assess whether process or system updates are required
Stakeholder collaboration and execution model
Partner closely with Finance (including Controllership), Accounting, Legal, IT, Operations, transformation teams, and external advisors
Serve as a trusted point of contact for indirect tax matters, communicating clearly in Spanish and English
Execute in-house compliance workflows consistently with agreed processes and standards

Hands-on experience with in-house indirect tax compliance preparation, audits, and advisory matters
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to provide clear, practical guidance in complex situations
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex tax concepts in a business setting in Spanish and English
Comfortable leveraging automation and AI-enabled tools to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in tax processes, including data reconciliation and research
